Thank you Dr. Gupta for all your book and commentary recommendations! Can you please discuss the intended audiences for different commentary series, as well as their theological influences?
Please explain why these should be any different - we are all blessed with the Holy Spirit, or are you particularly special that you require a "new" and "different" interpretation of Scripture? I am not suggesting that you are wrong - it's simply the presuppositions that intrigue me. I am, for the record also a charismatic - but I also hold both an MTh and a PhD in Theology. I am wary of anything that screams "We have the Truth" - because that is rarely (if ever) true of humankind. It can only ever be said of Christ. We have such difficulty in letting God be God, and in learning to live with uncertainty, but assured of love - do we not?
Great interview and really informative. I see they have five volumes ready for print. I look forward to reading these.
On another note, I’m always impressed when someone can keep an orchid alive.

Thank you for your kind consideration.
I talk about this in my book: https://amzn.to/4j3sHYi
But for this one, it is short commentaries aimed at students and pastors; easy to read and enjoyable

Its a matter of emphasis, not exclusion. There is no claim in these books that they alone have all truth, not sure where you got that from.
I’ve never been offended that my reformed friends use commentaries written by reformed authors.
